Essential package speed increase not showing up with new modem Motorola SB6121

I have the Essential package.  The speed has not increased with a new modem recommended Motorola SB6121.  What can I do?

The Essential package provides 15Mbps down and 2Mbps up.  Are you getting those speeds?  Upgrading from a DOCSIS 2 to DOCSIS 3 modem won't effect the Essential tier, DOCSIS 2 will provide >15Mbps.  The upgrade effects Preferred and above packages.  Please post what speeds you are getting.
